“ Best wings in Cincinnati, and for heaven sake , order the Hanky Panks (just do it). Wonderful, friendly staff, laid-back dive bar. ”
“ A great American urban bar. Great staff, cold drinks, amazing chicken nachos. Sat at high top by the front windows, the window was open the bar was full but not packed. Great prices and best of all, it feels like everyone is welcome ”
“ I am visiting town and this place was suggested for the wings. When I tell you they did not disappoint!!! I've never had smoked wingettes that are full of flavor and cooked to perfection! The wings are so good you don't need any dipping sauce! The raspberry Hennessy margarita is absolutely delicious. ”
“ Our Uber driver dropped us here when we were headed downtown because the Pride parade was keeping us from getting closer. It worked out. We stopped in for a local beer. The one regret I have though is not trying to wings. They did seem a little pricey but they had a ton of awards for them on the wall so I am sure they are really good. The place was busy due to the Pride parade and the Reds game so it was a little rough to order a drink since they don't do table service. other than that, fun place to grab a drink and watch some sports on TV. ”
“ Extremely low key and casual neighborhood bar where you can instantly feel at home. We were greeted by the staff and one of the regulars as soon as we walked in. Good selection of beer and drinks but the food is Nat's secret weapon. The wings are as good as everyone says, and definitely take the suggestion to get the sauce on the side. Plus you can't beat a giant bowl of free (and well-seasoned, if I may add) popcorn. ”
“ Simply put, this is a fantastic place. A downtown institution. The vibes, they are immaculate. The complimentary popcorn is an incredible salty touch. A must visit. The wings are really good. I wish they were crispier but the flavor packs a punch. A very good smoked chicken wing. Fantastic sauces with a wide variety. Hanky panky is a local delicacy and they do a fine job of it here although mine is cheesier. The waffle fries also dope. Beer is cold and the service is quick. Exactly where I want to watch a game. Love this place. ”
